BoomShakalaka Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Is nobody thinking of the carbon footprint of 1000s of fans trawling along the city bypass on a Wednesday evening. We need to save the planet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the days when my team used to reach finals, it seemed they were always played at Linlithgow or Gorebridge. The minimum criteria should be that there is a Social Club at the ground to allow fans to have "a better experience". However, it's Junior Football, so a lot of pitches aren't the greatest. Does Broxburn have a Social club? You are correct a lot of pitches are not the greatest. The pitch at Broxburn is the absolute worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The West have been able to dominate in this competition for a long time to be fair. - Higher gate prices a few years ago - more supporters backing their teams - more money spent on players - less travelling in their leagues. - draws, venues and media more tailored to the west as well. - you could also add referee appointments and mindset to the list Ultimately the West is alot stronger in that competition for those reasons. But when the Scottish Cup comes into play Bonnyrigg and Linlithgow bossed it. Strange that eh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the Irvine game think 4th round Talbot 4th round Some reason I thought Bonnyrigg was a 5th round! And despite them trying to forget it Linlithgow definately got the furthest of any. You are right though more level than I made out/thought. Maybe there is a record of Scottish games won by junior teams out there to clear up. Which only exaggerates the West Bias in the SJC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomShakalaka Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Game should be at Dalkeith. Best location for both teams and will attract a far bigger crowd or toss a coin and have it at one of the finalists grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
